Just a quick reminder that the Secret Santa mailing deadlines are quickly approaching.

If shipping overseas, your package should be in the mail by November 23rd.

If shipping in the U.S., your package should be in the mail by December 1st.

Also please remember to put your SM Screen Name on the outside of the box so that your Buddy can acknowledge receipt of the package even if he/she is waiting until Christmas to open it.

I know that Storm Sandy has probably put some of our Buddies a little behind in shopping and shipping. If you find that you're not going to be able to complete Secret Santa this year, please let me know asap so that I can get the Elves Committee on this. We do realize that this has been a difficult time for many and that it may be too much with everything else going on in your lives. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

I hadn't joined and reached enough posts by the cut off date to join in this year's Secret Santa. But I would still like to help out if needed. If there's someone who finds they aren't able to participate because of the hurricane or whatever reason, just send me the info and I'll be one of Santa's Elves.

I've not really been on since the storm, so I was glad to see the reminder. I need to get my act together, lol. I can't even believe Thanksgiving is here. My son has had 4 days of school the entire month of November. Thanks for the reminder, Lynn.
